It moved beyond "The Man From Nowhere" (2010) and "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" (2008), which lured 6.28 million and 6.68 million cinemagoers, respectively.

"The figure shows that the film was loved by all age groups and both genders despite earlier concerns about the complicated plot and narrative", said a spokesman at CJ Entertainment, the distributor of "The Berlin File".

The film starring Jun Ji-hyun, Han Suk-kyu, Ha Jung-woo and Ryoo Seung-bum involves intelligence agents embroiled in an international conspiracy.
